About Me

Conditions I specialize in
  • Rheumatology

Dr. Deepa Kudalkar brings more than 15 years of experience as a rheumatologist to TriHealth. She finds rheumatology to be a constantly evolving field that challenges her to be a lifelong learner. Her hope is to make a positive difference in her patients’ lives.

Dr. Kudalkar specializes in the non-surgical treatment of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, including arthritis and joint pain. She also performs in-office procedures, including diagnostic and therapeutic joint aspirations and injections. She has a special interest in rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, myositis, vasculitis and lupus. Dr. Kudalkar likes to build trust with her patients, educating them on all aspects of their conditions and treatments. She takes a holistic approach to health and involves her patients in decision-making. She encourages everyone to listen to their bodies and minds, while taking care of both.

Married with two daughters, Dr. Kudalkar grew up in Mumbai, coming to the States for advanced medical training. She loves nature and outdoor activities, including walking and kayaking. She enjoys cooking, listening to music, reading and travel.

      Dr. Kudalkar is professional and very knowledgeable. I told her about little knots on my finger and she immediately went and check my elbows and felt nodules there that I did not even tell her about. I was impressed that I didn't even have to tell her about the elbows. She is the first rheumatologist that really talks to me and answers my questions and concerns in a non-rushed manner. I recommend her highly.
